Transformers Generations Combiner Wars - Hong Kong Store Launch Event: Legends and Voyagers Combine

Posted by Va'al Dec 8, 2014 at 3:45am CST 57,044 views
You must have heard of that Singapore store event launching Transformers Combiner Wars - TAG Hobby has posted some nice, clear images of the whole thing a completely different event in Hong Kong, featuring the new Optimus Prime figure, Silverbolt and Aerialbots (minus one), Dragstrip and Legend Class Powerglide, Windcharger, Thundercracker and Bombshell. Added bonus is showing off that all Legend figures can 'combine' with any Voyager torso, as william-james88 has also showed before - check it out below!

Mmmm, that Bombshell looks nice.


Hope we get a legends kickback someday to complete them.

You know, I keep thinking about those two Leader Megatron figures that are also meant to come out next year, and find it weird that they're part of a select few that do not combine with anything.

If it weren't for the fact that the comics fiction does not allow for Megatron in his current state to be part of Combiner Wars (MTMTE is not part of the event, it's doing its own thing, probably with Drift: EoS if it decides to make sense), I'd be speculating like a wild thing. :-?

Va'al I already am speculating :P and I have a theory, though it only concerns the normal looking Megatron. Basically once elegant chaos is done and dusted. Megs leads the lost light back to cybertron to lend a hand with Defensor in tow.

This looks sick.

Also, I plan on reading the rest of this thread at some point. I've been pretty pumped about this line for months.

Now that Generations Bombshell is joining Shrapnel (Skrapnel), can we assume that Kickback is coming at some point? (I hope they're not thinking "We already made a Generations Kickback (FoC), so we don't need to make another.")

Ah, I see I'm not the only person wondering about this:

Hey, where is Huffer? He's not in those pictures. :-?
I thought he was coming in wave one.
They usually release Legends in groups of 4, and I see four of them there, so
Huffer is wave 2?

I had this same fear.

Wow Superion looks great...even better when the lower legs are attached correctly.

I'm on the fence about Powerglide...I really like the Classics version, and while I like the look of the robot mode on this one, the vehicle mode is just okay. He's one of those that I'll pick up if I find him but won't hunt him down.

The Classics Silverbolt has really grown on me, and I'd love to see the robot modes of both that one and this new one side by side. I'm obviously going to have to purchase the new one to get my Superion, but I need to decide whether or not to keep the Classics version, or find a new home for him.

But you'll miss him as a kick ass weapon for the combiner :)

Yea, Powerglide looks pretty great.

I never got the Ultra Class version for whatever reason, so this Legends figure will make a great Powerglide. At any rate, I do have Universe Stromcloud, so at least I'll have that older mold in my collection in some form or another.

Sorry for this second post, but...

Superion looks AWESOME. I'm liking him better than any iteration - 3rd Party or otherwise - that came before him.

Bombshell and Powerglide look oh so sexy. :D

I wonder if those Legends are intended to combine with Prime, or if it's just a fan-mode or some such. IIRC Powerglide is the only one advertised as being able to combine... but Bombshell seems to be hinting at something with those knee pegs and hand-cannons.

Yeah, I feel like there's got to be more to Megatron.

Although I kinda half expect them to make a Movie Galvatron out of Prime instead... or maybe Scourge/Nemesis Prime? *shrug* Dunno if they'd want another black/dark grey Decepticon truck though.

I wouldn't mind a Generations Megatron out of a truck - so long as the bot mode takes most of its major cues from G1, Megatron can have any alt mode, and I'd be happy.

We just need a good Generations-style voyager Megatron. That's all I've wanted for years. And unfortunately, Cloud Megatron is the best thing we've gotten in that department since the Classics mold, which was good in its time, but hasn't really held up (IMHO) like the Classics Prime mold has.

My guess is the combining feature will be focused in the Deluxe and Voyager Classes only. Legends and Leaders will be exempt i.e. be part of Combiner Wars "in name only" it looks like, except a certain few (basically, anyone who has a direct correlation with any of the teams). I wonder if this will be reflected in the two comic book series... :-?

It seems like they're trying to integrate these Legends, regardless of any corresponding team. And that makes sense (and I think it's really cool), given how the designers have been trying to make the combiner gimmick as modular as possible.

As it is, BlackJack on Menasor looks pretty cool. But I wouldn't mind changing it up with Thundercracker if that fills in the torso a bit more.

Yeah, I'm not really sure if that was actually intentional i.e. by design. Blackjack and Powerglide, yes, but the rest? Until Hasbro says otherwise, I'll consider them fan modes if anything else.

That's fair. I mean, it's hard to see how Huffer would combine with anyone, or serve as a weapon, so the use of older Legends molds (it's funny to say older since they've been out what, a year?) such as the Seeker (in this case, Thundercracker) combination may very well be a fan mode.

Thing is thundercracker makes sense given the comic at least.
